Silencer Off....nice feeling

[sganc4life_4]

Well, since Ive had my silencer on, it felt like I had a huge restriction along with an air compressor at high RPMs. I decided to remove it today using a plumbers pipe. It was basically a pipe with a bigger end on the end of it, almost like the pipe was 1/4" and the tip was like .2" bigger. It hooked right on the edge, and slipped after I pulled once, 2nd pull got it out, took maybe 2min tops.

So driving around, the exhaust is a lot louder, it kind of hurts my ears, but ill get used to it. What amazed me the most was wheel hop in 2nd gear along with it getting extremely quiet. It also feels like I have gained a lot more backend even though turbos hate exhausts.

All in all, if you can deal with the sound, take out the silencer. I love the extra speed

i bet i only have a catback exhaust and when it come to the highend power it pulls like a mad man. its great. I can't wait until i have a down pipe to go with it

Yea its ridiculous how big of a restriction that silencer is. I can deal with the loud exhaust for that much more power

if you dont care about noise you can run open downpipe. no cat. no catback.
